Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Why are Screens installed on the outside of the windows?
A. Screens are installed on the outside of windows so that they can stop the sun’s heat and glare before it reaches the glass. Unlike interior window treatments that offer only shade and privacy, our Screens are a proactive defense against solar heat gain as well.
Q. What is the screen made of?
A. We use two types of fabrics for our Habitat Screens. Thermoscreen® made by 3G Mermet is a unique PVC coated fiberglass fabric that is designed to absorb and reflect the sun’s heat and glare. Thermoscreen® is available in 6% and 14% openness. SunTex 80® made by Phifer is a polyester coated vinyl material that is available in 20% openness. Both fabrics are very durable, provide excellent protection from the sun’s heat and glare and look great.
Q. How large can the Screens be made?
A. The maximum dimensions are 19’8 wide and 12’ tall. Please ask if you have a special situation, we may have a solution for you!
Q. Can you see through the screen?
A. Yes. This is what makes our Screens so practical and appealing. Because the screen material is available in a variety of weave densities, you can block the heat and glare of the sun’s rays, without sacrificing your view. During the day, our Screens offer excellent privacy, and at night, others looking in can only see silhouettes.
Q. What color of screen material is easiest to see through?
A. Dark colors absorb most of the sun’s light and glare, and light colors reflect light back to your eyes, therefore, dark colors are easiest to see through.
Q. Can Screens be used on porches?
A. Yes. Screens are the ideal solution for creating shade, privacy and insect protection for patios, gazebos, and decks.
Q. How do Screens protect me from insects?
A. Our unique edge retention system uses a zipper system that keeps the screen in a track and prevents insects from entering your home or patio while the screen is in the down position.
